    @perlk I think your struggle results from the fact that the original is not sitting up stright, she has the legs probably bent sideways and the pelvis tilted, as well there is a forward backward movement in her pelvis /spine, which is hard to see. When unshure how a pose works on the body I try to replicate it in front of a mirror and that way I can feel which movements are involved

    Ohhhh!!!! Yes, I see this now! Thank you!!!

    Entry into Intermediate contest. Rendered in Daz Studio but I smoothed out the skirt in Photoshop. I created the skirt in Hexagon and will release as a freebie. Original pose at https://www.deviantart.com/faestock/art/Briar-sitting-pose-reference-1-502898468

    Thank you for the suggestions - I reworked the entire pose and I think it really helped!

    There was a plugin called EJ Artist Reference Studio whic should be able to help with figure placement. Not sure if its still available.

    WIP for the intermediate contest... looking for feedback. I feel like I struggle with the body position. It looks like her body curves towards the right, but I have moved the torso this way and that and it still doesn't look that close.

    (Also, I have struggled to find a dress or a skirt that looks like this, if anyone has any suggestions on where I can find one. This one was a Poser dress I had to remodel in Hexagon to fit G8F.)

    Original reference: https://www.deviantart.com/faestock/art/Briar-sitting-pose-reference-1-502898468

     

    I'm not sure about the top part of the dress, but for the bottom part of the dress, the Isolabella Dress on Daz (https://www.daz3d.com/isolabella-dress) works quite well especially since they have posing for it that includes kneeling and it draped over the floor - much like your reference image here. The top part is fancier and doesn't have the straps like this dress though. Not sure if that helps.

    Thanks! I am super cheap, too cheap to spend $18, so I just created my own skirt: https://www.deviantart.com/perlk/art/Free-dforce-big-circle-skirt-for-G8F-911124091 I ended up using a different top for the promo render which is closer to the original photo here, but it warped when I tried to use it for this particular render, so I kept the strapless. It's all about the pose, though, right? smiley

    I spotted the skirt at Rendo and was about to post here, suggesting it might be just what you needed, then I realised you had made it yourself! :)

    Welldone, really nice work.

    Yes that's true! The posing is the important part.

    And kudos to you on that skirt you made - looks fabulous!

    Congratulations to the Showcased artists, and all participants as well. I hope everyone learned more about posing and other features of Daz Studio.

    I'd like to extend a special thank you to @DAZ_ann0314. She stepped in and helped me out when life demanded too much of my attention.
